Google abandoned account integration of the social network Google+ with its basic services. The first will be a video YouTube.
In 2013, Google has obliged all YouTube users to merge their accounts with profiles on Google+. Since leave comments only after authorization in the social network of the company. On the one hand, this unpopular measure — not all people have accounts on Google+. On the other hand, the initiative aims to improve the quality of comments.
And now, after two years from this rule abandoned. Google did not give an exact date when the changes will be introduced to the work of YouTube, but noted that it would happen “in the coming months.” Today the company turned off the automatic publishing of comments from YouTube in the user profile on Google+.
As stated by the representative of Google Bradley Horowitz, since the unification of accounts many users have noted that the way to pass authorization in services has become much easier. “But we also heard the view that to use the Google+ account for our other services meaningless,” he added.
Google are not going to opt out of Google+, but the purpose of social networking is now more specific – communication with friends and family, the search for the necessary information. “If you take a closer look at today’s news, it is obvious that the company is gradually saying goodbye with their social network,” says Techcrunch.
Note that Google+ will remain without part of functions for working with photos — they will be moved to the new Google Photos app. The company will disable Google+ Photos 1 August 2015.
